Expansion at MWSC Becomes Reality - By Ann Clisbee Voters of the- St. Joseph Junior College District voted overwhelmingly Oct. 8 to provide 32.3 million in funds for the construction of a Stu- dent Services-Classroom Building at Missouri Western State College. Approved by 75.706 of those voting, the unof- ficial vote count was 8,551 for the bond and 2,759 against. , In 1966 the district passed a 20 year capital levy for 86,055,000 to build college buildings with a 28 cent per S100 assessed property value tax. Since 1966, fourteen new industries moved into the district and fifteen industries expanded. This industrial growth of approximately 25M increased the district's tax base. Consequently, more revenue was collected than expected. District ap- proval was required to spend the excess funds. Promoters cited the facility would increase ef- ficiency at the MWSC campus by centralizing the English, psychology, and education departments, student services such as placement, testing, counseling, admissions, and alumni association, and the expansion of the applied science depart- ment. The Student Services-Classroom Building was the top priority on the long-range college needs plan drawn up by the architectural firm of Caudill-Rowlett-Scott of Houston, Texas. Located between the administration and lear- ning resources center buildings, the two story structure will encompass 56,000 gross feet and 39,500 assignable feet. The national norm for a four year college offering maximum operation and efficiency is 107 assignable feet per full-time student. By the addi- tion of the new building, MWSC will have 90.6 assignable feet per full time student. A steering committee, headed by Mr. Robert L. Slater, managing editor of the St. Joseph News Press, spearheaded the bond election by infor- ming voters of the need for the facility. Major John Kirby Ill, instructor of military science at MWSC, was the faculty representative on the committee and Kevin Beauford, MWSC student, represented the students.
